Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Do Accubonds have a Dark Side?

Shot a nice bull moose out of the canoe at 100 yds. He dropped like you cut his leg's out from under him. I was using 180 gr. Accu-Bond in my 300 RUM, 3320 fps, Sako 75 S/S. Got full pass through the lungs. When we paddled up to him , we could not believe the amount of lung strips that were laying on the water.There is a name for that , but it was like everything was sucked right out of him. I also load for my buddies using AB in there 300WSM. and 300 Win. Mag. Awesome bullet accurate and deadly .

BobinNH , The Exit on the bear was a 225 AB out of a 338 RUM @ about 3070

KHH thanks. Big hole!

I shoot 160 grains in my 7MM Ultra Mag with 92 grains of RL25 and have killed whitetails from 30 yards to 400 yards. Recovered several bullets and they weigh anywhere from 64 to 73 % weight retention. Killed two 125 hogs with one shot with them. 71% retention. I shoot 140 grains in my 280 Ackley's and they have been the same. I shoot 140 grains in my 7MM-08 and get bag flops on whitetails and hogs at 40-100 yards. Avg about 69% weight retention on these as well. My brother says they blow up in his ultra mag and a buddy says they pencil hole in his 7mm-08. I load their ammo just like mine and have never had a bad experience on about 25-30 animals. I'm not sure what bullet placement has been for them but I've shotem in the shoulders neck and hogs in the head. Great results.
